I have not felt the same lately it's been strange for the past couple of months. So much has changed

So much has changed nowadays, I have to think about a lot more things than before the prices of everything are so much and it's getting really hard to survive. The demand for everything is so high and don't think I have caught up to that demand of people getting employed. After I finish my degree it might not be relative to the job market but it'll still be good to know what those topics are. It's so hard to do university studies. I'm trying to adjust but I feel like I don't have time I'm eighteen and I'm really stressed people might say u have so much time but I'm alone by myself doing so much stuff by myself working full-time and renting my place. I failed some of my subjects it's getting annoying I don't have anyone to talk to in person it's all online which I really dislike, I know some people say just move on but I tried but I can't. I have been trying to do new things like go the gym, rock climbing, bike riding, swimming and skating. I still feel like I am missing something, everything is so new to me as I moved cities it's taking time to get used to but I still feel like I to be socialising to make friends. If there is anyone out that wants to be friends or needs a chat I want to be there for someone and I need someone so we can hang out and get bubble tea.

Hello creative_thinking,

 

You sound extremely brave, I could not deal with all that stress and be so out going all at once, so I'm impressed. I'm not in studies but I have a similar issue with feeling extremely under pressure when it comes to having things that need to be done.

 

I'm sorry you feel isolated, I'm sure you'll meet some friends through all of those hobbies you're attending. It's literally bound to happen eventually. I guess until then focus on enjoying the activity itself as much as you can. Maybe have specific times for studying, specific days even and have others for your hobbies? So then your brain knows when to clock off.

 

Not 100% sure on this forums policy on making friends, but if you need to chat ever, I and the rest of the community are happy to.

 

Hope you feel better, cut yourself some slack, you're doing all that you can
